The St. Louis Blues extended their winning streak to eight games with a hard-fought 3-2 win against the Nashville Predators on March 27. With this, they have a five-point lead over the Vancouver Canucks for the final wild card spot in the Western Conference. In addition, they only trail the Minnesota Wild by two points for the first wild card spot.
Blues forward Dylan Holloway was a significant reason for the club's victory over the Predators, as he scored twice during the matchup. This included the game-winning goal at the 12:19 mark of the third period.
With these two goals, Holloway now has 26 goals this season and needs just four more to record his first 30-goal season. While the Blues only have eight games remaining, the possibility of him hitting 30 goals should not be ruled out, as he is on fire right now. The 6-foot-1 forward has six goals and 15 points in his ongoing nine-game point streak. With numbers like these, he is dominating right now.
It will be interesting to see if Holloway can reach goal No. 30 before the end of the season. No matter what happens on that front, he has been such an outstanding addition to the Blues' roster, as his 62 points in 74 games this season effectively demonstrate.
